This morning I read a review in the Guardian of a movie I look forward to seeing. The last line of that review is this quote from Blaise Pascal’s Pensées:

“We never keep to the present. We anticipate the future as if we found it too slow in coming and were trying to hurry it up, or we recall the past as if to stay its too rapid flight. We are so unwise that we wander about in times that are not ours and blindly flee the only one that is. The fact is that the present usually hurts.”
